We're primarily interested in renewable fuels, mainly vegetable oil. However, some of our other interests are Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Art and Music. It's great when you're driving up to a mountain for a day of snowboarding and you realize you're not paying for fuel to get there. Or when you see some sucker in a bright yellow hummer cruise by at 8 miles per gallon. You laugh and wonder 'where did we go so wrong?'
I'd like to meet:
People who would like to convert a diesel vehicle to run on waste vegetable oil so they can stop paying for gas and ruining the world. Oh, I'd also like to meet Neil Diamond and David Bowie. Those dudes rule. If i could meet people that weren't living I'd have to go with Rudolph Diesel, Nikola Tesla, Leonardo DaVinci and Tupac Shakur. Can myspace set that up? That would be sweet.
Music:
In the fall of 2005 GNG did a 15,000 mile vegetable oil powered tour with Piebald all over the US. If you click on "On the Road" on greasenotgas.com you can see a photo journal of the tour from city to city. Some other music the diverse staff of Grease Not Gas enjoys are... Jawbreaker, Danzig, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, the Bees, Superchunk, David Bowie, Supergrass, the Kinks, the Animal Collective, Ratatat, the New Pornographers, Apollo Sunshine, i love the Doobies but hate Michael McDonald, Jonathan Richman, Lifetime, Ted Leo and Pavement. So if you know anybody from any of these bands, or similar type bands, who might like to do a vegetable oil powered tour, tell them to contact us and we'll do it to it.
Movies:
Right now we're editing footage from two different tours. One will be a movie about the Snowboarder Magazine Tour from last winter and the other will be a movie from the Piebald tour last fall. They are both going to be awesome, you can watch the trailer to the Snowboarder one in our little video player. Pretty soon they'll both be available to purchase here on our myspace page as well as on GreaseNotGas.com
Television:
I could do without television. Except for those Grease Brothers on Mtv. Man, those guys are great.
Books:
Right now I'm reading a book about Nikola Tesla, that guy was wicked smaht.
Heroes:
Rudolph Diesel, Nikola Tesla, Ferris Bueller.
